TIM: Well, not really. An animation shows Moby sitting next to Tim and looking at him while Tim is talking to him. An animation shows Earth rotating, with the moon orbiting around it. Your friend, Charlotte. TIM: Well, the solar system is our home in the galaxy. TIM: The Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are areas in the far regions of the solar system where small bodies like comets are thought to originate.

TIM: Saturn has more than 50 moons orbiting it. TIM: Over millions of years, gravity drew a lot of this stuff together, into clumps. Well, the solar system is our home in the galaxy. An animation shows the sun, then pulls back to show the eight planets orbiting around it. (Compare/contrast; Draw conclusions), Look at the four related movies at the bottom of the page. Tim stops looking at the stars and takes the paper from Moby. TIM: There's no water on Mercury and there's very little atmosphere.

An image shows chunks of material orbiting in the Kuiper Belt. Watch it again, this time using the discussion prompts. TIM: The farthest that humans have ever gone is the moon, but several spacecraft have been to the outer regions of the solar system.

Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. TIM: Yeah, I guess Earth's my favorite, too. TIM: The moon is the sixth planet in the sky, next to the sun between Mars and the Earth. One is barren and the other shows some rocks. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. The image of the sun, the planets, the Kuiper belt, and the scattered disc is shown again. TIM: Yeah, you'd definitely melt on Venus. The animation shows objects being pulled into the center of the cloud, forming clumps. Others include Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. TIM: Well, planetary scientists arent sure whether Sedna is one of the farthest scattered disc objects or part of another region: the Oort cloud. TIM: It also has at least three moons: Charon, Hydra, and Nix! The sun can be seen in the background. But wait, there's more! The first moon landing, as far as I'm concerned, is one of the greatestmomentsin humanhistory. TIM: I know. 19992023 BrainPOP. Birds fly in the sky.

An image is divided vertically into three equal parts and shows three round bodies of different colors decreasing in size from left to right. An animation shows Earth rotating while the moon orbits around it. The one on the left shows the Voyager 1 spacecraft and the one on the right shows the Voyager 2 spacecraft. TIM: The outer planets were once rocky, too, but their gravity captured the gas pushed away by the sun. TIM: Farther out from the Kuiper belt is an area called the scattered disc. The other shows white, gray, and black areas on the blue surface. In the animation, Mars moves out of view. TIM: Sedna, another large scattered disc object, hasnt been fully categorized yet.

They're clumps of ice and dust that each have a unique orbit around the sun. The biggest was in the center, and everything else began to spin around it. He then looks at the stars through his binoculars and Moby covers the binoculars with a piece of paper. TIM: First of all, anything that orbits the sun farther than the planet Neptune is called a trans- Neptunian object. But how does it make our calculators work? TIM: Right, the solar system isn't just planets and the sun there are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too. Contact your administrator for guidance on teaching this topic. Theres a stormy Great Dark Spot on Neptune thats kind of like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. The surface of Venus can get close to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. An animation shows Tim peering into a telescope pointed at the night sky. Tim is looking at the night sky through a telescope. TIM: Scientists think that comets come from far regions of the solar system, called the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. TIM: Like the stuff in the Kuiper belt, objects in the Oort cloud are thought to have originated way back when the solar system was just starting up. Although it's pretty dry right now, scientists think Mars was once much more like Earth, possibly with oceans and rivers flowing on its surface.
